NEW YORK LETTER.
j
By Norman.
New York, June 5. Tam
many's 2,200 braves who will go
to the convention in Baltimore
will leave little money in the cof
fers of the big hotels.
For the first time in the history
of the famous organization quar
ters are not being engaged for the
rank and file in any of the high
priced caravansaries of the con
vention city. The cash that Tam
many mn spend for cheering
beverages will go into the pockets
of plain, ordinary saloonkeepers
instead of being tossed over bars
of marble and mahogany; the
boarding houses of Baltimore are
to receive the smaller amount
which will be expended for food
and lodging.
Of course, Charley Murphy and
the upper crust of the outfit will
have their hotel headquarters, but
according to Tom Smith, secre
tary of Tammany Hall, the great
body of Tammany henchmen will
give the hoteIslhe cold shoulder
because, says Smith, their rates
are too high even for Tammany
and Tammany lias no reputation
for parsimony, at that.
"We have outwitted the holdup
men who run the hotels," declared
Secretary Smith. "They quoted
us rates ranging from $12 to $20
a day for sleeping accommoda
tions. And they wanted to put
not less than four in a room.
"When we got their figures we
pulled off a little gumshoe stunt

the best sections or Baltimore.
